“Quote candidates are UNRANKED, not a verified ranking; 'best' is the worker's judgment of limited opened evidence. Its own installation page says it has served Mount Pleasant since 1998 (own claim) and offers home-specific equipment selection, installation testing and free estimates, with financing advertised on its AC services page. CAVEATS: NO licence or BBB check this run (LLR presented reCAPTCHA - stopped, blocked-not-zero; no matching BBB profile surfaced - missing, not proof none exists); its 'licensed, bonded and insured' is an own claim, unverified. CROSS-RUN: appeared in accepted TASKs 833/847/860 - disclosed, not resolved.”
